"We're not hunting him...He's hunting us."
(Review by T. Buchanan- Film Freak)

In 1982, Stallone had two huge hits come out in the same year: Rocky III and First Blood. At the time, nobody remembered the 1972 book about a Vietnam Vet named John J. Rambo. After this film was released, however, everybody in the world would know all about Rambo. It would also create the string of sequels that continue until today. Unlike Rocky, Rambo is a tortured soul who loves his country, but is disillusioned and scarred. From the opening scene, Rambo's heart is broken after learning of his war buddy's death by Agent Orange. This is the beginning of Rambo's rampage and it is Sheriff Teasle ( Brian Dennehy, playing the bully as nobody else can) that sets him off. Say what you will about Stallone's acting ability. In this film all you have to do is look at his face to see that America has turned its back on him and spat in his face. We feel for his character immediately. We cheer when he beats the crap out of the redneck deputies. We cheer when he plows through the squad car blockcade. We cry with him at the end when Rambo opens up to Col. Troutman (Richard Crenna) the only friend he has left in the world. Not many of today's so called actors can do that. Look for some notable acting debuts as well from a very young David Caruso ( CSI: Miami and NYPD Blue). Stallone's films have always been the target of the critics who claimed they were "too violent." Actually, this film would probably get a PG rating today. The sequels were much more bloody. The only criticisms I have for this movie would be that Richard Crenna probably graduated from the William Shatner acting school. He's a bit wooden, and the entire movie was shot in Canada, not Washington state. The rest is a very entertaining film from start to finish. Make sure you get the widescreen 'Ultimate' edition. This one has Stallone's commentary and the alternate ending which would have made a sequel impossible. Outstanding direction by Ted Kocheff.

Dramatic action classic and one of Stallone's best movies
First Blood is action classic that makes you think. Stallone created a new franchise for himself in the form of John Rambo. Brain Denhey makes great bad guy and Richard Crenna as the father figure type is always good. The action sequences in the film are intense but below all that is a film with heart that makes you think.

first blood...the only rambo film that matters!
not the best transfer but decent enough. special features are a bit lacking in comparison to other blu-rays. still a decent buy if you're a fan of the movie though...

One of the best 80's Action Movies!!
Sylvester Stallone Stars as a Vietnam Vet trying to live in the real world again.
This in my mind is a solute to the Vietnam Vet that went to do a job and were never recognized for the job they were asked to do, especially by there own country!!
He's trying to get to a friends house he hasn't seen since the war, as he's leaving cause he found out his friend was dead a policemen sticks his nose where is doesn't belong.
Since Rambo didn't follow the policemens direction and leave town after the policemen dropped him off at the edge of town the policmen puts him in jail.
While in jail they try shaving him, he has a flash back to the war like someone is trying to cut him he fights back with the policemen, he kills a couple then gets away from the police station.
I rate this movie a 10 from 1to10!!
For the rest of the story checkout the movie!!
